Despite that being the case, Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez dropped the Englishman to the bench for the final.

Crouch has recently revealed that he felt “bitter” when he found out that he wasn’t starting against AC Milan in Athens.

The Premier League side ended up losing 2-1 to the Serie A team.

We can understand where Crouch is coming from. The forward was in good form leading into the final, so it is only natural that he felt bitter about not starting for Liverpool on the night.
